I have had my eye on this cat tree for a while and finally decided to purchase. When I saw how small the box was, I was worried it would be a nightmare to assemble, but my boyfriend ended up doing it himself in about 1 hour without any issues or extra tools. We have 2 cats (approx 11 lbs & 7lbs) and they both enjoy this tree. Our rabbit likes to hangout on the bottom level too. It's cute to see them all on there at the same time. I think it is definitely worth the price I paid and I am happy I decided to purchase.
